This recipe is from Southern Living Magazine but tweaked a bit by me. It's great for an early-morning breakfast or brunch for a crowd, because you can do most of the work ahead of time and just throw it in the oven the morning you want to serve it. Ingredients:
1 lb pork sausage or 2 cups cubed cooked ham |
6 cups cubed bread (french bread or a chewy, rustic white bread is good) |
1/4 lb medium cheddar, shredded |
1/4 lb swiss cheese, shredded |
6 eggs |
2 cups milk |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
Directions:
1. Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink; drain well.
2. Place bread cubes in a lightly greased 9 X 13 baking pan.
3. Sprinkle bread evenly with cheese, and top with sausage (or ham).
4. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, dry mustard and Worcestershire sauce and pour evenly over sausage mixture.
5. Cover and chill casserole for 8 hours (may be frozen at this point, and thawed before cooking).
6. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until set.
8. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
